Americans who said “the most commonly found type of holiday stain” in their home was “vomit.” The poll of more than 2,000 adults was conducted by Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, which added this chunky nugget: “People in the Midwest are more likely to have encountered vomit stains (23 percent) than those in the Northeast (15 percent) and West (14 percent).”

Americans who, in preparation for holiday parties they hosted in their homes, admitted to “sweeping debris under rugs.” That number shocked Hoover, the vacuum-cleaner company that conducted the poll. Also distressful to Hoover’s sales: 14 percent also admitted to “moving furniture to hide stains.”
